Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects, which could be accidentally be thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and surrounding objects. Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet grass, because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper collection of the grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted, so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. Clean the underside of deck. Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching. Always remove the starter isolator before cleaning. Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mow. WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the motor. Switch off the isolator key, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired. 9. BLADE The blade is made of pressed steel. Ensure that it is always balanced (an unbalanced blade will cause dangerous vibrations). To check for balance, insert a round rod through the central hole and support the blade horizontally. A balance blade will remain horizontal. If the blade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards. Reshape the heavy end until the blade is currently balanced, or replace the blade. To remove the blade (1), unscrew the blade screw (2) and replace any parts, which are damaged. When reassembling, make sure that the cutting edges face in the direction of the motor rotation. The blade screw (2) must be torque to 20N.m. WARNING: For service, replace the blade with Cobra blade: 263002917 or 263003498 Fig.12 WARNING: Disconnect the electric cord from the power supply. WARNING: Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades when replacing the blade. 15 10. MAINTENANCE AND CARE Warning: Before performing any Maintenance or cleaning work, Always remove the battery and switch off the isolator key! Do not spray the unit with water. Ingress of water may destroy the switch-plug combination unit and the electric motor. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc. Expert inspection is required, do not make any adjustment by yourself, must contact to customer Service centre: a) if the lawn mower strikes an object. b) if the motor stops suddenly c) if the blade is bent (do not align!) d) if the motor shaft is bent (do not align!) e) if a short-circuit occurs when the cable is connected. f) If the V-belt is defective, where fitted. h) Use only manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts and accessories. 11.
